Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will lead the implementation of a maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition programme in Mongu, Western Province. Day-to-day, you’ll coordinate with district health teams, manage budgets and donor reporting, and oversee field staff to ensure lifesaving services reach remote communities. Expect frequent travel to rural health posts and close collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
Key skills to highlight
Proven experience managing donor-funded health projects (e.g., USAID, DFID) in rural Zambia or similar settings. Strong skills in health systems strengthening, data-driven decision-making, and team supervision. Fluency in Lozi or other local languages is a major asset, as is familiarity with supply chain logistics for essential medicines and nutrition supplies.
Taf4All CV tip
Quantify your impact: instead of “improved maternal health,” write “reduced maternal mortality by 20% in 12 months through training 50 traditional birth attendants and stockpiling oxytocin.” Show specific budget sizes (e.g., “managed $500K annual budget”) and number of staff supervised.
Before you apply
Save the Children never asks for payment or personal banking details during recruitment. Verify the application email ends with @savethechildren.org. If contacted via WhatsApp or asked for “processing fees,” report it to Taf4All immediately.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
